Two problems related to tire bubble have been reported for the 2000 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Grapefruit size air bubble from the inside to the outside. Happened to friend on 2 tires, same truck purchased at same place. General is giving him 7 new tires and only offered me 2, at first I was told I had to pay $50. 00 for replacement tire. (tiresize: 235 85 16).
8-5-00 had to buy a replacement tire on the left front of truck. There was a large size bubble on the outside of tires sidewall. On 9-1-00 had to have another tire replaced on the front right side due to large bubble on the inside sidewall. 9-6-00 went to pioneer Ford and had service manager (mark elfring) look at tires and he stated that I have the same issue on more of the tires. Contacted manufacturer and they are willing to only pro rate tires and we do not want to put more of general tires on our vehicle. 2 separate tire dealers (discount tires) employees have stated to us that these tires have this problem all of the time and they see them coming in like truck loads. We were also told by the mechanic at pioneer Ford on 9-6-00 that he also sees this problem and recognizes that there is a problem. ( dot number: tire size: lt235/85r- ).
